太貴係致命傷，之但係每一塊sensor都可以對鏡頭作最佳化。

utter insanity

Again .. depends on Price ..  

Say Leica X1 is a good DC .. but $2,xxx ...

I am sure an $900 500D+2 lens will do better job then this ...  and not much bigger!

The problem is you have so many competing products that offer similar functionality and image quality.

Depends.

For ricoh fans .. go for it ..

It still look weird ..  and ..  why "red' ring??

Then it will be interesting .. and good idea ..  

Just make the "sensor" part/mount for some brand lens, but using same body/processor/LCD etc ..   

What a smart idea!

Well .. just not my cup of tea anymore ..  too used to good AF system ..  45/51 points ..  just handy!

There are many potential & possibilities of this camera.....

Just like 4/3 or Pentax MF or whatever ..

But the problem is COST ..  say if I buy a sensor+lens today for this camera for $800, on a 10mp small sensor, in few year, better sensor will come out, so, will be a new/better sensor + same lens.
